Before I get into Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, there's something about Assassin's Creed that deserves its own post. The history in these games is absolutely amazing. By the time I got this far into the series, I had learned more about history from playing them and then going off to research things in real life than I ever did in school. I'd come across a person, a place, or something happening in the story, and then I'd want to know more about the real thing. That would lead me into something else, and then something else after that. The games gave me a reason to care about the history instead of just trying to remember names and dates for a test. Obviously, Assassin's Creed mixes real history with its own story. The Assassins, the Templars, the Isu, and everything connecting these characters don't make every event on the screen a history lesson. That's where the extra research matters. I wanted to know which parts actually happened, who those people really were, and what the games changed. But being able to walk around these places and spend time in them made a huge difference for me. Egypt, Greece, the cities, the buildings, the way people lived. There's so much there to get interested in. A game would end, and I'd still be looking into the history behind it. That's one of the biggest things I love about this series. It got me interested enough to keep learning outside of it. And these next three games are some of the ones I got the most absorbed in.
